We suggest two extensions of the coalescent effective population size of S
jo
̈ din
et al.
(2005) and make a
third, practical point. First, to bolster its relevance to data and allow comparisons between models, the
coalescent effective size should be recast as a kind of mutation effective size. Second, the requirement that
the coalescent effective population size must depend linearly on the actual population size should be lifted.
Third, even if the coalescent effective population size does not exist in the mathematical sense, it may be
difficult to reject Kingman{\textquoteright}s coalescent using genetic data.
